Air Conditioning/Refrigeration & HVAC:

They literally rescued me. My a/c unit was crashing just when I was expecting visitors. This happened on a Friday. We set up a date for the following week but to keep my house going until the date, Gary sent a couple of his employees to put in a used condenser to hold us. And, that it did. My new Trane a/c was put in the following week. It is the best thing that could have happened to us. I never knew how my "old" a/c was struggling to keep us cool. My bills are now lower and my house is much more comfortable, so much so that I actually sometimes forget that it is summer in Vegas..... (Phyllis Tolidano - (702) 478-5545)

When the weather got hot in the June of 2015, my Air Conditioning unit quit working. I call them and they came out the next day. The diagnosed the problem and made a temporary fix so that they house could be cool until the new parts arrived. They also let me know that the new parts may be covered under the manufacturer warranty. A couple of days later they installed the new parts and we were cool all summer. The parts were all covered by warranty and I had purchased the unit from another dealer who had gone out of business. When it started getting cold in the fall the furnace did not work. They came right out and got it running as well. Their team is very professional, and my wife Raquel and I highly recommend them. Check them out at www.airforlessvegas.com, you will be glad you did. They are the very best. Paul and Raquel Lightfoot (224-230-5737)

Kitchen Tune-up, Paul Climer - Owner, 702-556-2382, http://www.kitchentuneup-lasvegasclimer.com/ (Judith Filangeri - We just had our kitchen and bathroom cabinets "tuned up" by Kitchen Tune-Up. Paul came over and gave us an estimate, pointing out that the cabinets themselves were in fine shape. Most of the doors were in decent shape, as well, except fornthe finish on a few of them, especially in the kitchen. We went with a one-day tune-up: deep cleaning, worn spots repaired, finish applied. We also had the hinges replaced with an all metal hinge, not the ones with the plastic sleeve that seem to break when you look at them cross-eyed. BTW, Paul didn't push that since our hinges were all ok, but rather we asked if he had them available and asked him to replace most of them. The tune-up results are very satisfactory. The cabinets look great. The cost was about 1/10th our original budget. The work was done in one day by Cesare, who was so non-intrusive. Strongly recommend their work.)

I suggest you get a quote from each. Barbara Davis - I had Artistic Iron come up and give me an estimate for nice scroll doors across the patio sliders. I chose a not too ornate one about $1200.

Garage Door:

Recently during a “senior moment” I backed into our garage door and dented the lower panel. We were not able to open the door, so called a local garage door company and a repairman came out and although he could get it back on track and operational, he said the panel could not be replaced or repaired--we would need to buy a new door. A couple days later while walking the dog I saw a Sun City Garage Doors truck parked on a nearby street and the driver gave me his card. I called (702-269-9713) & on 3/1/19 Steve A. came out looked at it and proceeded to bump out the panel and said we didn’t need a new door; but if we decided to, the price he estimated was several hundred dollars less than the other company. I definitely recommend them!

He repaired my opener today that I had been told needed to be replaced. Just needed 1 part which he had and his charge was much less than anticipated. Also came within 30 minutes of my calling him and was friendly, neat and professional.

Ted Starosciak - Cheryl is a terrific person, and I've talked with her a number of times. If you're interested in auto + home insurance, AF is an excellent choice IMO.) (Sun City Sandy - We recently bought a new car after having a Mercury Sable for 16 years (only had 50,000 miles) We were insured with Farmer's as their price was a few dollars less than AAA. When we got the new car the price went up, way up! Hartford was our choice for 15 years, then changed to Farmers and there was a substantial decrease. I decided to contact Cheryl Miller at American Home Insurance. We got the same coverage as Farmer's for 1/2 the price. They are very nice and located at Buffalo and Smoke Ranch).

I live and work in Sun City Summerlin, and would like to share a wonderful Insurance Agent. My family has insurance through him and we have referred friends and clients and he always takes the best care of all of us!

Plumbing, Hot Water Heater: Anyone who is replacing a gas water heater should also have the special aluminum pan installed under the water heater to capture any leaking water and redirect it onto the garage floor and away from the house. The pan costs about $20 to $25 at Lowe's or Home Depot and is about 3" deep with a hole cut at the top into which a PVC tube is attached and extends to the garage floor. It's a simple "fix" that works great! Ted Starosciak

Glenda Rogers he is reliable and professional. Steve Peterson - When I woke up this morning, there was zero water pressure at all of my faucets. The day was saved by Scott Trowbridge of Half Price Plumbing. He quickly came over, thawed out the pipes and improved the insulation, all at a VERY reasonable price. He also reminded me that for the next few nights, when temperatures will be below freezing, we should keep a faucet slightly open through the night to keep water flowing. Paul & Carol Warman - We would like to add our kudos for Scott Trowbridge, of Half Price Plumbing, who saved the day for us last week. The pipe in the master bathroom shower had simply broken off (hard water deteriorated the piping) at 10 PM at night. We called Scott at 7:30 AM the following day (based on yours and others’ recommendations). He came the same day (He accommodated his schedule to ours and was, in fact, 10 minutes early) and fixed the situation for less cost than he had originally estimated over the phone (before he saw the issue). We will definitely call Scott again.)Recently I had Scott Trowbridge of Scott's Half Price Plumbing accomplish the replacement of the faucets and shower head and faucet, valves and shut off valves, in our guest bathroom. I highly recommend Scott as he is the epitome of professionalism; arrives on time, final price was less than original estimate, work area was as neat and clean as when he arrived.

I trust her judgement and advise and she has become a friend. I am very grateful to this lady. I would welcome any inquiries regarding her and have included my contact information below.

Best Regards,

Elaine and I were guided by Betty when we purchased our home in beautiful Sun City Summerlin. We were living in Colorado so we did everything long distance. Betty has a deep knowledge of the SCS community where she is also a resident. Betty patiently showed us many homes that met our criteria and we ended up buying a gorgeous Tahoe model on the golf course. Betty managed the purchase and sale skillfully and everything went off without a hitch. We trust Betty completely and if we sell our home she will certainly be our realtor.

I am writing this email as a reference for Betty Gammon, my wife and I used Betty to purchase our Sun City residence ( 2833 Desert Crystal Dr.) in late 2018. Betty was extremely good in fact she is our favorite realtor we have used (we have recently sold 3 houses and purchased 2). Betty was knowledgeable about the area and represented us well. If we were to purchase a home in Sun City again we would not hesitate to use Betty again.
Thank You, Drew Seavey.

Betty Gammon was our realtor on 2 properties we have purchased in Sun City Summerlin. Betty was thorough and reliable. Betty listened to us and found properties that had features that we fit our "wish list". She is honest, ethical as well as a great person. I have given her name to others who have expressed an interest in buying in Sun City Summerlin as the realtor to contact.

Sincerely,
Debbie Spencer

We met Betty Gammon at an open house and told her what we were looking for. She found just what we wanted. She negotiated the price as well as repairs. She made everything very easy for us. She has gained our trust and has become a good friend. She is very open and honest and we highly recommend her.

We knew Nora and Dave in a social context. Decided to ask for their help when looking for an investment property. They couldn't have been more helpful. Or diligent. Or professional. One possibility fell through, they continued to monitor the market, found another. Once in escrow they ran into snags on the seller's end, were great about keeping us informed and staying in close touch with seller's agent on resolving problems. We felt it went very smoothly. BTW, we're both former realtors so weren't the easiest clients to work with. Thanks Nora and Dave. We recommend you highly.

SIGNATURE REALTY, Charlie Bush - a Sun City resident, 702-501-3300. (Judy and Bob Mirisch - He was so responsive and knowledgeable; his expertise really helped us purchase our home in a multiple offer situation and saved us money, too.

Tony and Dottie Derhakeï¿½ 313-549-1503Dave and Nora made us feel like they were working for us. They make a great team, as their skill set compliments each other. They made us feel like we were part of the family even to the extent I would call Nora "cousin."
They also sold us our home at 9049 Firebird Dr. This was a long process as we didn't have a time table pushing us; and, therefore Dave & Nora spent a lot of time trying to helping us make a selection. They were GREAT.

REFRIGERATOR

Campbell's Appliance Repair (702-642-0180) - I recommend Campbell’s Appliance Repair for refrigerators and freezers. This is a small business that responds quickly and arrives at the scheduled time window. The tech determined that my refrigerator/freezer problem was the result of dirt accumulation in the coils and did not require an expensive compressor or additional cooling agent. The tech checked back a week later and verified that the problem was resolved. Bob Miller (rjmiler@aol.com )

Rehab:(Suzie Scott -I liked the facilities and the personnel at Mt. View much, much more than I did Summerlin. Mt. View had much more and better equipment than Summerlin. (Michele Holiday - I, too, vote for Mountain View Hospital, and Mountain View, only).

Window Washing:

Thanks to all of you who responded to my post. I hired the man recommended by the Filangeri's on the vendor list. (Affordable Window Cleaners 702-505-2077) Bryan is the owner (20 years). He was very nice. His work was great, reasonably priced and most of all when I told him my situation (realtors holding an open house in the afternoon), he worked us in.. I thought that spoke volumes about him.

My wife and I moved to Sun City in June (9413 Slate Dr - off of Desert Crystal). We needed a window cleaner and got in touch Alta Window Cleaning (Genaro Guzman) 702 907-1080. He did a terrific job at a very reasonable price. I thought it would be great if you could add him to your list.

I recently used Eddie Montgomery at Squeegee and Me, 702-625-9421, to do our windows. I found him through Angie’s List. He was on time, reasonable, and did an outstanding job. I had been using Larry’s Window Cleaning for years but they are apparently out of business. I think Eddie did a better job than Larry’s ever did. Dave Durling, 9708 Brawley Dr., 702-645-4741.
